They Were There And Now They're Not

Born from light
I came upon
A body with all its parts

I was aware of them
But partly not
I played my role for naught

And then one day an alien came
And all my middle had to go

They were there
And now they're not
I had no idea what I was to feel
I had no idea what was to come

Nothing came
And everything did
Tears rolled down
To the pain in my gut
My child in me
Would never be

My tears rolled down
And everything came
My child in me
Would never be.
